SAVONAROLA’S PROHIBITED SERMONS


37
. Girolamo Savonarola (1452–1498). Prediche di fra Girolamo da Ferrara sopra Ezechiel. Venice: Giovanni Antonio di Volpini, 1541.

In this copy of Savonarola’s sermons on the Book of Ezechiel, the three prohibited sermons in this collection were left undisturbed but a later note states that Sermons 21, 32, and 40 were cited in the Index librorum prohibitorum. The woodcut on the title page shows Savonarola preaching in a public square while a figure seated at the left transcribes the sermon.
